Mums the word!

I can't believe the prices of hanging basket plants around here. What was $8 last year is $12 this year.

That's a lot of watering.....

Takes me 1/2 hr to water what I've got planted. Can't imagine ....must be all day every day.

   Don't worry Bob.  They will all be going on automatic dripper lines..     
 And this is only the beginning of them.....

Seamonkey here is an arial from about 10 years ago.
The end greenhouse with the three black dots is now twice as long..  This was taken in the fall and you can still see a lot of mums out in the mum field...

I forgot about the drippers. It's been really dry around here. But, I don't have to mow every 4 days either👍

My “polar berry” white blackberry plant is getting shipped! Soon to follow is the Ann’s yellow raspberry. my order of seeds from amazon hasn’t ended so well, own of the two packs of seeds didn’t have any seeds, and haven’t heard back from the seller yet

I had 80 mph winds come through in a thunderstorm yesterday and snapped off some limbs of my tomato plants. 

To show you how strong the wind was this is a homemade steel flagpole.
